Free to enter, but modern updates have made this Roman monument somewhat disappointing…read more You can take the funicular to take you up the hill. It's still used for modern concerts, which would be a fun thing to do. We saw them setting up for an event which was part of the annual Fête de la Musique.

So very peaceful there and I got a kick from resting my tired old butt on the same seats as some Roman citizens did 2000 years ago. I gotta say, those Roman architects knew how to build and design seating that was surprisingly comfortable, bare stone and cement that they are! If Vieux Lyon is old then these ruins - formerly known as Lugdunum - was ancient Lyon. It really is quite awesome thinking about the layered history of this city. The open air theaters' are still used today; there is a museum too but unfortunately wasn't open on the day we visited. I would have loved to learn more about Lugdunum and its evolution into modern-day Lyon.
